Features

  • Explores how the use of internets and intranets in the manufacturing process allows a total enterprise approach to manufacturing
  • Explains how computer aided process planning results in highly cost effective manufacturing
  • Covers techniques in computer assembly that automate the product integration process
  • Presents techniques that are applicable to any manufacturing process

    • Summary

    In the competitive business arena companies must continually strive to create new and better products faster, more efficiently, and more cost effectively than their competitors to gain and keep the competitive advantage. Computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are now the industry standard. These seven volumes give the reader a comprehensive treatment of the techniques and applications of CAD, CAE, and CAM.
